Ravenclaw Sorting Bug

Hello. I know that some of you are already aware of this problem, but others aren't, and I think that everyone should know about it.
Did you ever wonder why on Pottermore Ravenclaw has less students than the other Houses? The reason is that in some languages you cannot get Ravenclaw. I am Italian, and this has been tested many times, by many people: giving the same identical answers, even if in English you get Ravenclaw, the Italian Sorting (and I think also French and German, but I'm not sure) sends you in one of the other Houses. You won't get Ravenclaw in any way... unless you do the Sorting in English.
This problem didn't exist during the Beta period. When Pottermore opened to everyone, we realized that something was wrong because we had only a few new members showing up in the Common Room and posting on the site, while the new members of the other House were much more. Also, on social networks people were saying things like "I tried the Sorting twenty times to get Ravenclaw, but it didn't work!".
We told the Pottermore Team about this horrible bug, but they never listened to us. I think they didn't even read what we wrote, because we only got standard and meaningless answers.

I've heard of that. :( It made me very sad. I heard that people were being told to resort in English. But it makes me sad to think there could be so many more 'Claws, and our chances for the Cup would improve significantly. I wish they'd listened.

thats really unfair, making the house cup biased towards the other 3 houses....

I have personally gone through the sorting in Italian about a dozen times now (with the aid of google chrome translating it so that I could read everything) and despite answering the EXACT ANSWERS that others have used to get Ravenclaw in English could never get it to sort into Ravenclaw. Meanwhile, in comment boards I saw Italian Claws posting to those coming close to the sorting that they should take it in English if they wanted to get a true sorting. I, along with the rest, sent in e-mails and got non-helpful replies.

Maybe we should start a petition?

I never heard about that until now... That's really sad... and a bit racist. I mean if you're from, let's say... Italy, and you only speak ITALIAN, then you don't have a chance of getting in Ravenclaw. That's terrible..... :(

According to Watch Queen and this blog (http://pottermoreanalysis.tumblr.com) it's not just Italian - it's the better part of European languages. Maybe even Asia too. All non-English, maybe?

Yeah, that's true. I was just using Italian as an example because Elm was talking about doing the sorting in Italian.

I know it works in French, so I didn't think it was that extensive... :(

Wow. If that glitch wasn't present, Ravenclaw would be winning! :D (I still have no clue how I got Hufflepuff on here I'm like 100% Ravenclaw...)
